Match preview & overview
Peshawar Zalmi cruise to 7-wicket win as Multan Sultans crumble for 108
Peshawar Zalmi beat Multan Sultans by 7 wickets at Multan Cricket Stadium on 5 May 2025, completing a comfortable chase after bowling out the hosts for just 108. Multan won the toss and chose to bat, but the decision backfired badly. A reasonable powerplay of 40 runs gave way to a collapse in the middle overs, where 5 wickets fell for 47 runs, and the tail contributed only 21 in the final phase. Zalmi's response was assured: 54 runs from the powerplay for 1 wicket settled the match early, and they finished on 110 for 3 without needing to face a single delivery in the death overs. Ahmed Daniyal was named Player of the Match.
For Multan, this was a fourth defeat in their last five PSL 2025 outings and continued a run of form that has seen them fall to Karachi Kings, Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars in recent weeks. Zalmi, by contrast, collected their third win in five and have now beaten Multan in four of the last five meetings between the sides.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Top wicket-taker markets may hold interest given how heavily the middle overs shaped this result: 5 Multan wickets fell for 47 runs between overs 7 and 15.
- First-innings total lines could be attractive context given Multan's average first-innings score of 233 at this venue versus the 108 they actually posted.
- Powerplay runs markets are worth considering in future meetings at this ground: Zalmi's 54 in six overs was well above the venue's 30-run powerplay average.
- Head-to-head outright markets may reflect the overall 11-8 advantage in Multan's favour without fully pricing in Zalmi's 4-1 run in the last five encounters.
